17 Every man shall give according to the gift of his [a]hand, and according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee.

18 [b]Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy cities, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout the tribes: and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
